| Moving Household Goods Arranging Household Goods Shipments As soon as you are alerted to your upcoming PCS move, you can start getting your house and family ready. Clean up and get rid of junk. Hold a yard sale or take serviceable items you no longer need to a thrift shop or donate to charity. Get important family records together in one place. You can even estimate the weight of your household goods before you visit your transportation office to set up the move. If you are going overseas, you should begin to plan what items you will take in your hold baggage, in your household goods shipment and what might need to go into storage. Remember for overseas assignments electricity is different and houses are generally much smaller and cannot handle large furniture. Set up an appointment with your transportation office as soon as you have a copy of your PCS orders. The earlier you call or visit your transportation office, the greater your chances of moving on the date you desire. The counselors will explain all your PCS move entitlements in detail. Your first decision is whether to have the government move you or whether to move yourself. There are pros and cons to each type of move. Your counselor will answer all of your questions. If you choose a government move, they will book your shipment and let you know the exact dates the movers will come. If you choose to move yourself, the counselor can assist with recommendations and tips on how to do a personal move. Click here for more information. |

| Airman's Attic The Airman’s Attic offers young Airmen and their families a place to pick up household items, clothes, and toys for children -- free of charge. The facility, located in small building on Luke Air Force Base, is run by volunteers and stocks items military members want to pass on. New Airmen just starting out appreciate what the attic has to offer. The attic offers a great opportunity for the base community as well as the off-base community to support Airmen. Recently, the attic reopened at Luke and volunteers are looking to increase the selection the attic currently provides. To get more information click here. |
